Summary:
How has Berlin’s urban landscape changed in its remarkable transformation from divided city to creative capital? Despite the monumental heritage and grand development projects, Berlin still conjures up images of urban fragmentation and vacant inner-city land. The book reveals the changing nature and complex politics of this open space. A rephotographing of sites between 2001 and 2016 shows how no man’s land has made way for new apartments and underground hangouts have changed into commercial hubs, but it also transports us to remaining pockets of urban wilderness and unexpected freedom right next to the city’s most iconic squares. The accompanying essays by noted urban thinkers explore this little-known but vital reserve—forcing us to reflect on our unrelenting efforts to chart the future of the city at large.

Summary:
The Bund was once a mud land criss-crossed with farm fields, wild reeds, and a rooster fighting yard. Then its shape transformed dramatically looking similar to a European City, thus the mud Bund became the modern and attractive gold Bund.

The book records the past and present details of 30 buildings on the Bund north of Yan 'an East Road, and shares hundreds of architectural photos and historical pictures.

Summary:
Los Angeles–based Grey Crawford (born 1951) produced the photo series ''El Mirage'' in the southern Mojave Desert in 1975–78. Influenced early on by the forms of fellow artists Ellsworth Kelly and Frank Stella, and later by land artists such as Michael Heizer and Gordon Matta-Clark, Crawford's work features minimalist structures made of glass and steel. These abstract works focus on the artist's interventions in nature and architecture that seek to extend the limits of photography into land art and hard-edged abstraction. Crawford's day-to-day job working as a photographer for architects reveals its payoff in the work's smart presentation of its difficult subject. Besides the black-and-white photos that Crawford is famous for, this volume also contains Crawford's experiments in colour photography.
